Sans Superellipse Tigen 1 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Polin Sans' by Machalski, 'Sharp Sans Condensed' by Monotype, and 'Nu Sans' by Typecalism Foundryline (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly blunted corners. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, but the outlines show deliberate roughness and slight waviness that reads like ink spread or a distressed stamp. Counters are tight and simple, terminals are generally squared-off rather than tapered, and curves resolve into squarish bowls. Spacing feels snug and rhythmically irregular in small ways, giving the text a lively, hand-printed color.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and bold brand marks where texture is an asset. It can work for subheads or pull quotes at moderate sizes, but the rough edges and tight counters suggest avoiding very small text and long passages when clarity is critical.
The overall tone is informal and energetic, with a tactile, screen-printed or stamped feel. Its chunky shapes and friendly rounding keep it approachable, while the distressed edges add grit and personality reminiscent of vintage posters and DIY ephemera.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded skeleton, then add character through distressed, inked contours. It prioritizes a handcrafted, print-like presence over pristine geometric precision.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive “printed” look. Round letters like O and Q lean toward squarish ovals, and the lowercase shows straightforward, single-storey forms that keep the voice casual and direct.
